This 12 year old Merlot from Knights Valley is awesome but could go another 10-20 years, I believe. Big ole Merlot that is delicious. Well done. — 5 years ago

Wow. For those of you who remember Delectus wines, this is the first vintage of Gerhard Reisacher’s new operation in Knight’s Valley...and it is a winner. Intense aromas of cassis, black currant, and bittersweet chocolate, this has a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, sweet and perfectly integrated tannins, and a long, elegant finish. Easily on par with the best wines he ever made at Delectus, if you liked those wines then you’ve got to try this! — 6 years ago

This had a bit of VA to blow off at first. Lot of funk too. Old fig, graham cracker, stewed red and black fruits. A lot of plum and dates in the finish. Tannin structure was strong as was acidity. I’d enjoy these fairly soon. — 7 years ago

This Delectable Boulder Falls Cabernet is similar in flavor (strong) to the 2012 Delectus Bear Crossing but so much smoother and more balanced. This is a California-style Cabernet Sauvignon that is very strong and designed to be consumed only with steak or lamb. There is no subtlety to this wine and it lacks complexity and earth, tobacco, tar, or leather flavors but it is a well-made if straightforward Cabernet Sauvignon — 2 years ago

Cab sav up front and great intensity. Dark juicy fruit in the middle with mild earth, peppery spice and chocolate moka on the finish. Tannins grip nicely. Spice makes me sweat. Well integrated and balanced, elegant. Love every sip — 8 years ago

So, I’m of the opinion that Gerhard Reisacher’s sweet spot is Cabernet Franc. This 2009 isn’t quite as good as his 2007 - that is the best 100% cab franc I’ve ever had - but this is damn close. No trace of the bell pepper you typically get from people picking the fruit too early, this is a terrific wine with notes of something reminiscent of roasted chipotle pepper, black pepper, and currant. Medium-to-full bodied palate with a silky, mouthfilling feel leading to a lingering finish. This is nothing like a cab franc from The Loire - pure California - but a terrific wine nonetheless. Winemakers would do well to take lessons from Gerhart on how to handle this varietal. — 6 years ago

2010 vintage. Deep ruby-red color, full bodies, smooth mouthfeel, grippy tannins on a long, dry finish. A complex wine w blackberry, currant, cocoa, wild herb, earth & tobacco. Serious balanced structure, could lay down longer. — 6 years ago

We call this the house wine and a darn good bodied, balanced goodness in a bottle. Dark fruits, hint of leather and all around masculine wine. Gerhard's best value — 7 years ago

2008 - blackberry nose, great body, slightly tannic finish; depth, character; worth revisiting or buying more; great value. — 9 years ago
